February Swap Card

 This is a record, our swap cards for Feb are already produced and exchanged. We are on a roll. 

I used a new Stamp set from Lawn Fawn called Simply Celebrate Critters. I also purchased the sentiment add-ons. I feel like this set can be used for all occasions but of course, I started with the dogs.


Keri made the sweetest shaker card using a set from My Favorite Things; Meant to Bee. I couldn't find an image to show you.

It's freezing rain here today so looking like a great day to stay inside and craft.

January Card Swap

Keri and I have decided to have a go at our Monthly Card Swap. We each make 2 cards then we get together to exchange. This helps motivate us to get in our craft rooms and pull out those sets that we have never/lightly used. This month we both used MFT products. 

I used MFT New Best Friend and made this card....

 


Keri used the MFT set Polar Pals and came up with this purple cutie...



So great to get back crafting!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

 Here's another idea for a quick and easy dinner and another option for using up that Rotisserie chicken from Costco.

This hardly needs a recipe but here it is...

BBQ Chicken Pizza
Garlic Naan (I buy mine at Costco)
Spread your favourite BBQ sauce on it.
Add cooked chopped chicken, red onion and other toppings as desired. 
Cover with mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 375F directly on oven rack for 10 minutes. 
A quick and delish snack or dinner paired with a salad.

Shrimp Bowls

 My favourite recipes are the ones that are shared by friends after a lovely meal together. This recipe is even endorsed by my non-veggie loving relatives. I made it for my Duathalon crowd and they said it was better than a $30 lunch at a restaurant. High praise indeed.

Shrimp Bowls
Sauce:
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup soya sauce (low salt)
2 Tbsp honey
Garlic (1 clove or so)
Rice vinegar to thin out
Warm on stove top or in the microwave.
 
Roast veggies (toss in Epicure Asian Stir fry spice and some sesame oil)
Broccoli
Peppers
Onion
Snow peas  
 
Sprinkle unbaked veggies on top
Shredded carrots
Bean sprouts
 
Add cooked chicken or shrimp. (pan fried in a little oil and stir fry spice as desired)
 
Sprinkle with toasted cashews.
YUM!
